Live Action Murder Mystery

In the small black room, Gu Liang fell into a coma during the punishment.

This type of punishment is basically a round of mental torture and a round of physical torture. Shang Huiliang has experienced mental torture, but this time he experienced nothing more than physical torture like mountains of knives and sea of ​​fire.

However, despite the physical pain, Gu Liang felt that this was much better than mental punishment.

No matter how much his body was injured, as soon as he left the small black room, the trauma would recover automatically, but if he suffered mental damage, that might not be the case.

After experiencing the punishment of sinking into the lake last time and watching Wang Qing sinking into the lake, Gu Liang was sluggish for a long time.

Gu Liang was in a daze, feeling that he was being carried out.

After being punished for a full 24 hours, he was drenched in sweat and became seriously exhausted.

Opening his eyes occasionally, he could see the man in black approaching to give him an injection, and later even used a water bottle, probably to supplement himself with glucose and salt.

After the infusion, Gu Liang regained some strength, and was carried to a room with a shower and clean clothes.

After taking a shower, Gu Liang felt much more comfortable.

But when he walked out of the shower room and saw a set of white robes on the wooden shelf, Gu Liang still frowned subconsciously—this dress was the same as Yun Xuan's, and it was also of the same style as Ming Yue's.

But there is no other clothes to wear right now, so Gu Liang had no choice but to put the white robe on his body first.

Pushing the door open, Gu Liang saw an ancient courtyard in front of him.

Yun Xuan was waiting outside the door.

Seeing Gu Liang, Yun Xuan greeted him, then led him through a winding path, and stopped in front of a room.

After knocking on the door three times, she pushed it open and signaled Gu Liang to go in directly.

When Gu Liang walked in, he found that this was the room he had come back from last time.

There is still a square table in front of the fireplace. On the square table is a pot of tea, a bowl of porridge, and a ball... something that looks sticky and dark, and seems to be called dessert.

Sitting at the other end of the square table is Mingyue.

Seeing Gu Liang, he made a "please sit down" gesture.

Gu Liang looked back, Yun Xuan had already closed the door.After a moment's pause, Gu Liang took a few steps forward and knelt down in front of the square table.

"Brother Liang, you missed the Mid-Autumn Festival in reality. I think I can make it up for you. This is the mooncake I made."

Mingyue pointed to the dark ball of dim sum, and motioned Gu Liang to have a bite, "You can have a taste. You have been punished for too long this time, so you need to eat something first, and we will talk about other things."

Gu Liang was indeed hungry.

In this way, even though the appearance of the thing was so poor that it was hard to arouse the appetite, he still picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

But after taking a bite of this so-called mooncake, Gu Liang was stunned.He held back desperately so as not to spit it out.

Mingyue slightly frowned. "Isn't it delicious?"

Gu Liang: "...This, is this a mooncake?"

"It's really not delicious? It shouldn't be. I basically followed the recipe, but made a slight improvement."

Mingyue explained, "You sweated in the small dark room, and your body lost a lot of salt, so I put a lot of salt. You also need to add sugar, so I also put a lot of sugar. Considering that you just woke up, maybe No appetite, but the sour taste can stimulate the taste buds and stimulate the appetite, so I specially made mooncakes with sauerkraut filling."

Gu Liang: "..."

Seeing Gu Liang's expression, Mingyue asked: "Is it really delicious?"

Gu Liang: "Well... have you tried it yourself?"

Mingyue nodded, and then said: "But I don't have a sense of taste."

Gu Liang was slightly stunned, Mingyue said lightly: "I didn't have it when I was alive. But I don't care either."

He doesn't have a sense of taste, and he doesn't seem to have emotions or desires... He can't even feel the pleasures of life like food, sex, sex, so when he was alive, where did the fun come from?

He seems to have committed some serious crime... So, are these defects on his body the reason for his crime?

——Can’t feel the happiness of ordinary people, he needs to do something else to find excitement?

Gu Liang glanced at Mingyue with rather probing eyes, and then he didn't want to ask any more questions, but just lowered his head and drank the porridge.

The salt and sugar in the porridge were also heavy, and the taste was so indescribable. Gu Liang barely drank half a bowl of tea and asked Mingyue, "You want to test me? When will it start?"

Mingyue: "Don't worry, brother Liang, you have porridge first."

Gu Liang took another spoonful of porridge and drank it, and asked Mingyue, "Can you tell me how Yang Ye is doing?"

Mingyue smiled. "Don't worry. He's back."

Gu Liang straightened his back, and asked a little nervously, "Did he throw the gold coin this time?"

Mingyue said: "It has never happened that players abandon gold coins and refuse to go back, so last time, those men in black were unprepared. But they will not let such a thing happen again. This is a serious waste of system resources Behavior."

When Gu Liang heard this, he first smiled, but soon his eyes became a little heavy again. "Then... did he also drink Wangchuan water?"

Mingyue: "He refused to drink at first."

Gu Liang clasped the edge of the table tightly with his fingers. "Then... what happened next?"

Mingyue: "Later it was changed to injection. Granny Meng's new invention finally came in handy."

"Yeah. Got it. Thank you." Gu Liang took a breath and lowered his gaze.

Gu Liang seemed to hear Mingyue sigh, and then he said: "Actually, it doesn't have to take so long. When "City of the Immortal" ended, you could have come out. Who would have thought that Yang Ye would get the death-free card? Later return……"

Gu Liang's eyes froze suddenly, and he looked up at Mingyue. "What do you mean?"

Mingyue shook her head. "I just think that you don't need to fall in love at all. Wouldn't it be good to come to do research with me earlier? If you came out in that script, you wouldn't be so uncomfortable now."

Gu Liang became serious: "I don't quite understand what you mean. Do you think I can't pass your test?"

Mingyue shook her head, took out a tablet and handed it to Gu Liang, and changed the subject. "He's awake. You can check his condition."

Gu Liang immediately took the tablet.

A spacious white room was shown on the screen. Yang Ye was resting on the head of the bed, with an infusion needle on the back of his hand and an oxygen tube on his nose. The nurse next to him was slowly pushing away a series of complicated and sophisticated instruments.

It appears that he has indeed recovered.

With a soft breath, Gu Liang smiled, couldn't help stretching out his finger, and placed it on the screen, as if touching his face.

Probably due to the fact that he has been living in the hospital in reality, Yang Ye is thinner than in the game, and his face is also a lot paler.

Looking at it, Gu Liang was inevitably worried, hoping that he could return to normal as soon as possible.

Gu Liang's fingers slid from Yang Ye's forehead to the bridge of his nose. At this time, the door of the ward opened and someone walked in.

Yang Ye opened his eyes, smiled brightly, and called her: "Mom."

Gu Liang couldn't see what Yang Ye's mother looked like, and the screen went black.

Mingyue took back the tablet. "You can't continue to violate the rules, so let's go here."

Gu Liang was a little bit reluctant, but finally withdrew his hand restrainedly. "Thank you."

"He's in good condition, and he has no game-related memories at all. So—" Mingyue looked at Gu Liang, "I think you can stop worrying."

After saying this, Mingyue stood up and walked outside. "After three days, our test will start. You should have a good rest these days. Sleep and diet are also key factors to measure whether you are prone to depression."

Three days later, Gu Liang got his test questions.

Gu Liang never expected that this is really a whole test question.

"Do you experience loss of appetite? Or can't help but overeat?"

"Do you suffer from insomnia? Or feel drained and lethargic throughout the day?"

"Have you lost interest in sex?"

"Do you feel worthless or consider yourself a failure?"

……

Gu Liang needs to examine his own situation according to the problem, and score according to the severity.

- 0 means no such situation at all, 1 means mild, 2 is moderate, and severe requires 3 points.

Gu Liang scored all 0 points, and then handed the test paper to Mingyue. "I'm doing fine."

Mingyue read the titles side by side, showing a little surprise, and then a complimenting expression. "Well, sure enough."

Gu Liang: "..."

--It's that simple?

"Then, come with me."

Mingyue took Gu Liang out of the courtyard, tapped a few times on the tablet, and said to Gu Liang, "Now, I declare that you have passed the psychological assessment. You have no tendency to depression, and you have a strong desire to survive. You will not commit suicide after returning to the present world." .”

"I informed the men in black, they will come to pick you up. You can go home immediately. Brother Liang, I will give you a ride. But before sending you back, I want to ask you, you still refuse to accept me invite?"

Gu Liang shook his head.

Mingyue said: "Although there is no sun here, it is always in the dark...but you can do the same as me and make a guest appearance in the script from time to time. There is a fake sun there."

Gu Liang still shook his head.

Mingyue showed a bit of helplessness. "Okay. I'll see you off."

About 10 minutes later, a sedan chair appeared in front of Gu Liang.

Gu Liang sat in and Ming Yue followed.

The sedan chair wobbled, and it took about 10 minutes before it stopped.

After getting off the sedan chair, a very spectacular and beautiful scene appeared in front of Gu Liang.

A river meanders to the sky, filled with stars, he seems to be on the edge of the Milky Way.

There are large red flowers blooming by the river, without leaves, so there are only bright red everywhere.

Gu Liang asked, "Is this Manzhu Shahua?"

"Correct."

Mingyue raised her finger and pointed in one direction, "Get on that boat and row away from Manzhushahua, and you will be able to go home."

"Of course, the test for you is not as simple as a test paper. You have to prove to the system that you really have the desire to survive. Therefore, this time there is no man in black to take you. You have to go back by yourself. I will give you the map .If you can row to the other side, someone will pick you up and take the road below."

"By the way, there is Wangchuan water on the boat, remember to drink it when you get to the other side."

Gu Liang asked him: "Can I not drink?"

Mingyue shook her head: "After landing on the shore, there is still a section of desert to go. If you don't drink water, you will definitely die of thirst on the way."

Gu Liang turned around indifferently, walked to the river, and then stepped on the boat: "I will try. Maybe I can make it through."

Mingyue smiled. "Brother Liang, please choose carefully. If you don't drink water and fall into the desert, maybe I will think...you don't have the desire to survive."

"I'll get through it."

After receiving the map, Gu Liangwu let go of the cable and left with the paddle.

Sure enough, there was a can on the small wooden boat, which was probably the Wangchuan water.

Gu Liang glanced at it, then ignored it, and looked at the map seriously.

After a while, Gu Liang put down the map and started rowing.

Before leaving, Gu Liang glanced back towards the shore, and Mingyue waved to him from the shore, with a reminder.

"Brother Liang, I have to remind you of one thing. When you are rowing, you may encounter 'water ghosts'. They occasionally break away from the control of the man in black and jump into the water to try to escape. In order to return to reality, they will cheat your boat .You have to be careful not to let anyone aboard."

"Mark my words, this boat can only take one person. If anyone else gets on it, the boat will sink."

As far as the eyes can see, there is only the boundless galaxy; what the ears can hear, is only the sound of wood pulp across the water.

Without a watch, without a card, you can't see the time, or even feel the time.

The only thing that makes Gu Liang feel that time is passing, there is only one thing - his rowing arms are getting more and more sore.

Everything is quiet, and the endless environment is a little frightening.

Drifting alone on the sea, or wandering in the endless night of the universe, Gu Liang is now facing similar situations.

He didn't know how long he had been rowing, but fortunately he had a firm goal - to go home.

Furthermore, even though he was driving slowly, with a few reference objects, he could barely row the boat according to the established route.

After an unknown amount of time, the silence was broken by the sound of falling water.

Gu Liang turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from, but he saw that it was calm and there seemed to be no one approaching.

Until a long time later, a hand appeared on the surface of the water, and with a "slap", it clung to the side of the boat.Those five fingers were pale and swollen, and there was a strong rancid smell, as if they had been soaked in water for many days.

Immediately afterwards, a head emerged from the water, and a faint cry for help came out of its mouth. "Help me, save me, I want to go home too..."

Gu Liang's first reaction was to throw his oars at this person.

Because he remembered Mingyue's reminder that he might meet a water ghost on the boat, and the water ghost would take away the boat that let him go home.

Gu Liang swung the oar vigorously and hit the man's head, and the strong wind swept away the long hair blocking her.

At this moment, Gu Liang saw her face clearly.

Although it was already swollen, Gu Liang recognized it—it was Wang Qing's face.

The oar immediately stopped in front of Wang Qing's forehead.

Gu Liang broke out in a cold sweat suddenly.

"There's a stone in the bag on my back! It...it turned into a monster, dragging me into the water! Help me!"

"You failed to save me. You save me! You save me now!"

"Take me home! Please! Take me home!"
